Hospitalization is not the end of things. It can be a start of a new life if you really can't cope with the old one. Take me for an example.
I always ignored my personal boundaries and that stress was slowly killing me. During an especially stressful time in my early 30s i started the equivalent of force feeding myself up to 10k calories a day, smoking weed 24/7, and was suicidal as fuck. The only thing that got me out of that situation (outside of a possible suicide) was voluntary hospitalization.
I won't lie, the meds are not a very pleasant thing in general (although not feeling anything was a large improvement above what i experienced before!). But without getting stabilized in a stationary stay, i would never had the possibility of starting the necessary changes to make sure i could rebuild my life in a way that i could cope with long term.
